Loved how last night they were all shouting how they use terms like "chinky" to talk about the Chinese. Then polo comes live and goes "aww Ellie order me a Chinese I'm starving" no any thought behind it or nothing, it was really that easy because that's what he calls it. Unlike Hulk, Scotty, Jade.
It's not just the ignorance that annoys me, it's the fact that they double-down on it. Instead of saying "Oh yeah, that isn't right, maybe I shouldn't say that" they turn around and embrace it. They would rather be racist than be wrong.
It's one of the main issues I have with people like this.
Back when Covid hit bad and we were all in lockdown, people would ask me questions about the vaccine and the virus because I'm a scientist (not a virologist, but I have worked with viruses primarily in terms of DNA transgenesis). I was happy to explain things to people but the one thing I noticed was the rise of people with no actual scientific education telling me I was wrong or that they knew better than me. I have a PhD and I work extensively with RNA, yet here was the likes of Lewis or Scotty telling me that I was wrong, science is wrong and that they were right because they watched a youtube video.
My point is you can't argue with these people. You can't educate them. Because ignorance is their safe-place; It is their home. They are happy to be ignorant because ignorance is easy. It takes effort to educate yourself, to better yourself, to be a better version of yourself.
They lack that capacity. They think because they can say things on the internet that they deserve to be heard and that what they say is valid. It isn't.
